Rudra Dev was supposed to be a ghost-a dead man buried by the past. Instead, he survived, clawing his way up from the ashes to become a merciless, rising mafia king. He lives by a single rule: show absolutely no mercy. Driven by a burning need for vengeance against the DSP who destroyed his life and killed his best friend, Rudra executes a flawless, brutal plan. He kidnaps the DSP's fiercely protected daughter, Trisha, and drags her to a hidden cabin deep within an isolated forest. A place where no one can hear her scream. His goal? Torture her day by day, breaking her until her father suffers every single minute.
But Rudra made a fatal mistake. He didn't just kidnap a DSP's daughter-he kidnapped Trisha.
Trisha is an independent, brilliant, and notoriously grumpy college professor. She is bold, uncompromising, and possesses a spine of pure steel. More importantly, she doesn't know the meaning of fear. While Rudra expects tears and begging, Trisha meets his cold stare with a lethal promise of her own. He took her innocent brother's life, and she isn't planning an escape-she is planning an execution. To her, Rudra isn't a victim of the past; he's just a monster who needs to be put down.
Locked together in the wild, the boundaries between captor and captive completely blur. He thinks he is the ultimate predator, but he doesn't know she is a hunter, too. In this deadly game of psychological warfare and blinding hatred, mercy is a myth and passion is fatal.
Two hunters. One cage.
Who will bleed first? And when the dust settles... who will kill whom?
